Control arm lever lock won't engage the hydraulics

[t-well]

My kx71-3 lever lock won't let the hydraulics engage. I checked the switch, and it has continuity when the arm is down, but 0 hydraulics...anyone have thoughts?

IT may have continuity but does the switch have power to it and does the safety solenoid valve have power to it when the lever is down?

Hey Ruger...thanks for the response...i didn't have a meter on site, but im headed back now to check voltage, clean connections, and check solenoids...if I can, im more of an operator thans a mechanic

It would have helped if I hit send.
If you don't get it, send me a PM with an email and I'll pass it along that way.

So, I checked today, and the switch has no power to it, and the solenoid has no power to it

Well you will need to read the WSM that @North Idaho Wolfman sent you and determine what supplies the safety lever switch with power and find out what part of that circuit is faulty.
